3.3 Patient Data (Processing on Behalf of Clinics)

Lawful Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR Article 6, we rely on the following lawful bases:

Data Type Lawful Basis Details
Clinic subscriber account data Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) Necessary to deliver the platform services under our subscription agreement
Billing and payment data Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) Necessary to process subscription payments
Platform usage analytics Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) To improve our platform and detect security issues — balanced against subscriber interests
Marketing communications Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) or Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) Existing clients via legitimate interests; new contacts via consent
Legal compliance Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) Where processing is required by law (e.g. HMRC, ICO)
Website contact forms Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) To respond to business enquiries
Patient data (as processor) Per clinic’s lawful basis — typically Contract and Legal Obligation The clinic (data controller) is responsible for identifying and documenting their own lawful basis
5
Special Category (Health) Data
What is special category data? Under UK GDPR Article 9 and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2026, certain categories of personal data receive the highest level of protection. For aesthetic clinics, this includes: health and medical records, treatment histories, prescription data, before-and-after photographs, and data revealing physical characteristics.

5.1 INTENTIQ’s Role

INTENTIQ processes special category health data solely as a data processor on behalf of subscribing clinics. We do not determine the purpose or means of processing this data — that responsibility rests with the clinic as data controller.

5.2 Clinic Obligations

Subscribing clinics, as data controllers for patient health data, must ensure they:

  • Have identified an appropriate Article 9 condition for processing health data — typically Article 9(2)(h) (health or social care provision) supported by DPA 2018 Schedule 1, Condition 2
  • Maintain an appropriate policy document as required by DPA 2018 Schedule 1, paragraphs 5 and 38–41
  • Have completed a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) where processing is high risk
  • Provide patients with a clear privacy notice explaining how their health data is used
  • Retain health records for a minimum of 8 years (or until age 25 for minors) in line with NHS/MHRA retention guidance

5.3 Before-and-After Photographs

Before-and-after photographs are classified as special category data under UK GDPR as they may reveal physical characteristics and health conditions. Clinics must ensure they have obtained explicit, specific, and informed consent for each intended use separately. INTENTIQ does not share or use clinical photographs for any purpose other than platform storage on behalf of the clinic.

6
Data Controller vs Data Processor
Understanding this distinction is critical. It determines who is legally responsible for patient data held within the INTENTIQ™ platform.
Data Type Data Controller Data Processor
Clinic subscriber account & billing data INTENTIQ Limited N/A
Website visitor data INTENTIQ Limited N/A
Patient clinical & health data on the platform The subscribing clinic INTENTIQ Limited

Where INTENTIQ acts as a data processor, we:

  • Only process patient data on the documented instructions of the clinic
  • Do not use patient data for any independent purpose
  • Maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures
  • Assist clinics in responding to data subject rights requests where technically feasible
  • Notify clinics without undue delay in the event of a data breach
  • Delete or return patient data at the end of the contract, subject to legal retention obligations

A formal Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is included within or available alongside the INTENTIQ™ subscription agreement, as required by UK GDPR Article 28.

8
International Transfers

We primarily store and process data within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). Where any data is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

  • UK Adequacy Regulations — transfers to countries recognised as providing adequate protection by the UK government
  • UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) — where no adequacy decision exists, we use legally approved transfer mechanisms
  • Binding Corporate Rules — where applicable for sub-processor groups

Details of any international transfers and the safeguards applied are available on request.
